Hi all,
I know this question has been asked a million times, but I wanted to know if anybody has flown with American Airlines and taken your Phantom as hand luggage? The reason I ask is that I've just contacted the airline and have been informed that I cannot take it as carry on as it's too big and won't fit in the overhead holdall. They've said I can take it as normal luggage and it will go in the hold but I'd rather take it as hand luggage.
The case I have is a B&W type 61 case which fully protects everything inside but do I risk having it go in the hold...or should I leave it safe at home???
My main flight with British Airways is fine, they accept the size of the case as hand luggage so it's just the connecting AA flight that's a problem...3 hour flight.
The case is 20 inches by 17 by 9, and it is only 2 inches too big
